Things I’ll Miss
- Hearing the baby’s heartbeat at every doctor’s appointment
- Feeling her move, even when she’s violent
- Caring co-workers and polite strangers
- Going through all of these firsts with Tony like testing strollers, reading safety reports on car seats and putting the crib together
- How insanely excited my family and friends are for her arrival
Things I Definitely Won’t Miss
- Not being able to hide that a snack attack just hit. The evidence is there, resting on my belly!
- Tony’s jokes about renting the crane from the aquarium to help me roll over in bed
- My limited maternity wardrobe
- Cankles
- Labor and delivery: it’s a given
What I’ve Learned (So Far…)
- Cardio throughout pregnancy is healthy; lifting weights can do bad things to your behind.
- You have to slow down in late pregnancy and rest up for the big event!
- The belly gives any stranger Mom the clearance to strike up a conversation, whether you’re on the elliptical with your headphones on or not.
- Life is unfair that you’re gaining weight but should wear flats. Heels are our secret to appearing slimmer!
